"We were ready to play in the first half and took good chances," head coach Sasho Cirovski said. "Our defending was good, [goalkeeper] Craig Salvati was outstanding throughout the game and this was a great win for us and is indicative of the type of team we can be."

Maryland (2-1-0) jumped on the Broncos early, with Garey recording a goal in just 93 seconds. Burch was able to win a ball in the midfield and play it ahead to Garey who streaked past the defense before beating keeper Christopher Moreo in the lower-left portion of the net.

Bertz added the second score after Dello-Russo took a free kick from 40 yards out. Dello-Russo's kick curled into the box where Bertz headed it in for a 2-0 Terp lead in the 27th minute. Garey helped give Maryland a 3-0 first half cushion with his second goal of the night and third on the season after finishing a pass from King.

Salvati made three first half saves to keep the Broncos scoreless, including a sliding save on a shot by Erick Ustruck.

Santa Clara (2-1-0) fought back with an early score in the second half when Hector Guzman's cross along the ground got to the foot of Kelechi Igwe for the goal 46:08 in the game. Salvati made another clutch save in the second half as Keith Devey nearly was able to redirect a pass from Mehdi Ballouchy, but Salvati was able to deflect it wide of the goal.

The Terrapins return to action on Sunday, Sept. 11, as they take on No. 15 Virginia Commonwealth in the final game of the Maryland/adidas Classic. The Rams dropped a 3-1 decision to Georgetown in the tournament's opening game.
